> Project: Lucene - Core
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: core/store

> Reporter: Daniel Mitterdorfer
> Assignee: Uwe Schindler
> Priority: Minor

> While analysing a build issue in Elasticsearch I stumpled upon
> org.apache.lucene.util.IOUtils.fsync. It has a retry loop in fsync whenever
> an IOException occurs. However, there are lots of instances where a retry is
> not useful, e.g. when a channel has been closed, a ClosedChannelException is
> thrown and IOUtils#fsync still tries to fsync multiple times on the closed
> channel.
> After bringing the issue to Robert's attention, he even opted for removing
> the retry logic entirely for fsyncing.
> Please find attached a patch that removes the retry logic.
